Disclaimer: No, I do not own Hetalia, I wish I did though.
Feliciana suppressed her yawn, watching her sister being fitted for her wedding gown was the most boring experience in the world. However, no matter how tedious this task was, it was necessary; her sister was getting married in 2 months time.
She could not help but feel that, Lovina deserved her reputation as the cold beauty her modest height, with her golden eyes and dark head of curls worn in a classic chignon that sets off the simplicity of the cream silk gown she was wearing which also emphasizes her flawless skin. The cold part of her title is because of her attitude, she would ignore her suitors or outright insult them, and for some reason, unknown to Feliciana, men just keep coming back trying, but failing, to court her.
Feliciana now suppressed a sigh; she loves her sister, she and their grandfather were the only ones who Lovina shows any kind of emotion other than anger, and she could not help but wish that her sister would have her happy ending; but that would be a foolish wish to make. Ludwig, the man her sister was engaged to was well... the only word she could think of was emotionless, he never showed any kind of feelings but irritation and embarrassment, when he would join them at the different gatherings at the ton he would always look at her that makes her feel like she never did anything right. She also knows Ludwig has the right to criticize them, he was the one after all who was saving them from ruin; with all the lavish balls, their grandfather and Cousin Francis' heavy drinking spree and other unmentionable conduct with women born below their standing how can they not have a many debts.
It was their third season out she and Lovina were having to much fun to consider settling down, well that was Feliciana's excuse, she didn't know what Lovina's reason were for not wanting to getting married yet, they never really did talked about the reason Lovina acts that way to others. Nevertheless, she was going to be single this coming season again, and her sister was going to be married to Ludwig, because of their grandfather's pressure and the bill collectors ringing their door.
"You've been staring at me, with the same pitying emotion for the last ten minutes, would you be so kind as to stop it." Lovina snapped at her sister, she hated the fact that her sister pities her because she is going to marry the man she despised.
"I'm sorry Lovi, but you look so pretty I couldn't help it." Feliciana said with such eagerness that made Lovina blush bright red.
"Thank you Feli. It does suit me very much so; I just wish I don't have to marry so soon, and to that bastard of all people."
"Lovi, why did you say yes to him of all people, wouldn't you have preferred Roderich he is as wealthy as Ludwig you know. Ve~"
"We have to face facts Feli, yes Roderich might have proposed to me, but Elizabeta have set her eyes on him since, well for a long time now and I for one do not want to cross that girls' path. And most of the others can never make up their minds at least the bastard knows his own mind and has his priorities straight at the very least."
Feliciana wondered if her sister ever referred him as Ludwig instead of bastard. "Well I for one think you are very brave in accepting his proposal, I just hope you will be happy."
"I do not know what the future holds for me Feli, but this I know for sure I will be happy, after all what else can I do." Lovina said, while turning this way and that to make sure her gown was perfect in every angle.
Feliciana just looked at her sister and said with a serious tone "I want to thank you in be half of our family Lovi, not only are you saving us from ruin but you immediately jump at the chance your giving me a future for love while you yourself have only a slim chance, because I know out of all the people you have high tolerance for Ludwig is not one of them."
As expected Lovina blushed bright red, its one of the many reason Lovina hates to show emotion, she hates her blush and embarrassment to show to others, and looked down at her feet "I love you very much Feli, if there is a small chance I can protect you then I will, and I for one will not make that bastard's life easy."
"Huh, what on earth do you mean by that Lovi?"
"Never mind." Lovina said waving her hand in the air "why don't you help grandfather and Francis with the dinner menu for tonight' dinner with my fiancé, while I get out of this get dress and prepare our toilette for this evening."
Feliciana could not help but laugh at the way Lovina said "fiancé" she spat the word out as if it was a rotten tomato. She stood up from her position in the arm chair near the window, straightened her dress and went to the door, "I will see you in a bit Lovi~" and left the room completely."
Lovina finally released the breath she was holding since Feli thanked her seriously. She looked out the window tugged the chord which summons her personal in to her room. Once she was out of her wedding dress she walked to the window seat and sank exhaustedly in to it, how she can face Feli again, if she and Antonio carry out their plan.
Her normally angry façade dropped and her heart pounded, not that she would ever admit it out loud, at the thought of him, his caring smile and beautiful emerald green eyes. She huffed at her own day dreams "stop it Lovina, stop it right now, no more dreams of love and fantasy you can never have with him." She shuddered sat the thought of Ludwig touching her and shoved all the thoughts of her up coming wedding at the back of her mind and stood up to prepare her and Feliciana's toilette.
A/n: Hi, this is my first Hetalia fan fic so if you would kind enough to give me some creative criticism, it will be welcomed, as well as reviews. Please note that the time frame is set for the regency period and if you have a few "what the hell is she talking about" moments tell me and I will gladly put up a few translations and something like that in the next chap, to help you understand.
